Here's a little something to go with my
last post, though I don't think the two sound much the same. This is another Christmas record headlined by Vincent Montana, Jr., this time in a much less disco much more smooth jazz vein. There's certainly some good stuff on here, but it's very different from much of the stuff I share around here. I'd never seen or heard of this one before, but I happened to stumble across two copies at a little antique mall in Ellicott City, Maryland, this summer. This one came back with me in my carry-on, as frequently happens with me. If you like the sound of vibes, I think you'll enjoy this one. And it's quite long, too, for vinyl. This is
Montana Sextet-
Christmas Time Is Here (Philly Sound Works PSW-LP004, Stereo, 1987). That's much later than I usually like to share, but this it's still thirty years ago...
1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2. The Christmas Song
3. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
4. Christmas Time Is Here (Harp)
5. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
6. Snowfall
7. Little Drummer Boy Jam
8. Christmas Time Is Here (Vibes)

Thank you for this... I think?

Sounds like a real treat, Ernie. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was expecting cheese but this is really good! The "Little Drummer Boy Jam" has a 1980s NY/Miami Freestyle sound, not something I have ever heard with a Christmas song.
ReplyDeleteSomething different for sure, but I don't mind it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteVibe-tastic!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Awesome! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAre you secretly a member of Up With People, Ernie? You seem to be pushing that one pretty hard.
